Call for Tutorials
IJCAI-19 invites proposals for the Tutorial Track. Tutorials will be held
on August 10-12, 2019, immediately prior to the technical conference.
Tutorial attendance is complimentary for all IJCAI-2019 conference
registrants.
Objectives
Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:
- Introduce novices to major topics within Artificial Intelligence.
- Introduce expert non-specialists to an AI subarea.
- Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI.
- Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice.
- Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies.
- Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work.
- Introduce AI audiences to an external topic that can motivate or use
AI research.
- Mentor AI researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a broad
AI-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be AI jobs, or ethical
issues in AI).
Tutorials are intended to cover reasonably well-established information in
a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of
research, nor should they promote a product. We encourage tutorials with a
hands-on component or other interactive element.
Key Dates:
- Proposal Submission Deadline: March 15, 2019 (Friday)
- Acceptance Notification: April 5, 2019 (Friday)
- Abstracts and Tutorial Websites Deadline: April 19, 2019 (Friday)

the conference registration brochure.

overview.
- Proposed length of the tutorial: 1/4 or 1/2 day (one or two 1:45h
slots respectively)
- A detailed, point-form outline of the tutorial.
- A brief characterization of the potential target audience for the
tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.
- A brief description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to
a substantial part of the IJCAI audience, and which of the above objectives
are best served by the tutorial.
- A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include:
- Name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address

publications/presentation
- Citation to an available example of work in the area (ideally, a
published tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject)

- Evidence of scholarship in AI or Computer Science
Any questions about the tutorial program should be directed to the tutorial
